El Capistrano Sur offers four types of accommodation, from the 40 m² one-bedroom apartment, which sleeps three, to the 120 m² three-bedroom apartment, which can accommodate up to eight. Between these are the 55 m² two-bedroom apartment for five guests and a 90 m² two-bedroom villa that sleeps six. This variety lets you choose between a compact option and larger spaces with more bedrooms for groups or families.
All types include a kitchen or kitchenette, a living-dining room and a private bathroom. Kitchens have a fridge, microwave, oven, hob, toaster and coffee machine, as well as utensils. Bathrooms have a bath or shower. Balconies and terraces are available across the different categories; some apartments may have a private garden or a terrace with sea views, subject to availability. The villa adds a patio, while the three-bedroom apartment stands out for its large garden with outdoor furniture and proximity to the swimming pools.
At 40 m² and sleeping three people, this one-bedroom apartment is the most compact option. It has two single beds in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the living-dining room, alongside the open-plan kitchen. Depending on availability, it may have a private garden or a terrace with sea views; this outdoor space sets it apart from the other accommodation options.
This 55 m² apartment sleeps five across two bedrooms: one with two single beds and the other with a double bed. Compared with the one-bedroom apartment, it adds a separate bedroom and is suitable for small groups. The living-dining area connects to the kitchen, and the apartment may have a private garden or a terrace with sea views, subject to availability.
The 90 m² semi-detached villa sleeps up to six people and has two bedrooms, with one double bed and two single beds. Unlike the apartments, it adds a small private garden, patio, balcony and terrace. The living and dining area shares a space with the kitchen, providing separate areas for gathering and relaxing.
At 120 m², with three bedrooms, this is the largest option and can accommodate up to eight people. Its spacious living room opens directly onto a private garden with sun loungers, chairs and a table, and it has a fully equipped kitchen. It is also close to the swimming pools, a practical feature for those who want to combine outdoor gatherings with activities around the complex.
The outdoor areas combine a garden, furniture, an outdoor dining area, barbecue, balcony and terrace. Leisure facilities include a children's pool, water park, snorkelling, horse riding, scuba diving, hiking and a tennis court; sun loungers and parasols are also available.
